Ah-ha! Yes, thanks, that gets me past where I was stuck before.
However, I seem to have progressed only to some new problems!
1. First tried playing as administrator. This first told me that my pilot was too new ... I presume that this is because I reinstalled on top of my previous directory, so keeping my save games and pilots. Anyway, I followed D3s request to delete my pilots,and now I can play new games but can't load my saved games. Because they are specific to the pilots? Is there any way I can get round this? (I have copies of my pilot files, if there is any way of fooling the programme to accept them). I really really don't want to have to start all over again!
2. Second tried playind using my more normal XP user account (ie not as administrator). The launcher by now does seem to have kept the preferences set when I started up as administrator, however pressing "play" from D3s launcher brought up an error message "failed to create registry key". I guess that I could always play as administrator, but it'll continue to annoy me if I can't figure out why I can't play as other users.
